"Entertainment Media show was a chance to hang out with some friends from Iconic Legion costume group and of course we couldn't turn down a chance to take our Flycam along and get some awesome shots and make this little video."

"London Comic Con landed in May 2013 and blessed with the rare event of a sunny weekend in the UK the crowds piles in for 3 days worth of cosplay, games, comics and film so we took our Flycam along to capture some of the amazing costumes and atmosphere to show off just how the awesome the UK cosplay scene is!

"I got told by Eurobeat Kasumi Photography
that there was gonna be an Eva Entry Plug/Cockpit here at Fanime! So, I
had to have photos of me in it! These amazing photos are all done by
him! Eurobeat Kasumi Photography!"

"This was definitely a collaboration costume. I purchased the visor from
Taylor at Crabcat Industries and handed it off to Will at WM Armory to
create the helmet. My friend, Meredith (who is also an amazing
cosplayer), created Tali’s signature wrap/hood as a wedding present
(best present ever), and Ammnra Creations did the omni-tool. I put it
all together, created all the detail bits (belt, harness, boots, gloves,
etc), installed a fan and tint in the helmet, and debuted the costume
at Katsucon ’13!"

"This is my beautiful niece Leah and her parents! Leah was born down
syndrome. She brings the most beautiful spirit to our family! We just
love her to death! For Halloween my sisters made the whole family
Tangled costumes! Dad is Flynn Rider, Mom is Repunzel, and Leah is
Pascal!"

"Welcome to my MCM Expo Telford Midlands Fanvideo. The date of this event is on the 16th Fenruary, 2013. This was filmed, directed and edited by me. I really enjoyed filming everyone and I hope to see you guys at Birmingham Expo or London Expo.

"Had a lot of fun shooting Black Cat and Wickedm6 at Sydney's Cockatoo
Island. There's no shortage of great spots for photography (too many
to choose from, in fact) and the weather was classic Sydney. Sunny all
day long. I have to come clean and say that I haven't shot as much
Western comic superheroes/ supervillains as far as one on one shots
go. My colourful editing style do not always lend itself to this
particular genre I thought. Nevertheless, I took up the challenge and
had a go. I am pretty pleased with the results so far and I hope you
enjoy them too."

"I probably say this for every costume at some point, but truly this
Supergirl costume is my FAVORITE costume to date. I have loved reading
the New 52 reboot Supergirl comics - she is so much more badass and they
do a fantastic job of conveying the tragic side of her character. She's
one tough chick. I felt so awesome wearing this costume and random
people would come up and treat me like a real super heroine! There's no
better feeling in the world! An old man in downtown Raleigh asked if I
could pick up his car and move it to a better parking spot. Made my day."

"Star Wars Weekends launched today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World and I was there to capture this year’s always entertaining Dance-Off With the Star Wars Stars. The Jedi and Sith were out in force once again, dancing to pop hits that this year included Michael Jackson, Beastie Boys, Outkast, Taylor Swift, Gangnam Style, Harlem Shake, Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That, and plenty more."

This is Polygon’s short feature on Ger Tysk. Tysk immersed herself in cosplaying, from making props to dressing up and now documenting the culture. Ger Tysk cosplays for a living. She builds, sews, paints, sells, and
mostly wears costumes based on video game and anime characters. In this vide, Tysk reminds us to respect everyone’s right to self-expression. Read more Polygon.

"Here’s one of two shoots I knew I would be shooting over the
weekend, and was excited to do so. Anton’s Mordecai from Borderlands 2
is amazing, and Laura made some improvements on it since the last shoot.
Apart from some minor apparel fixes, there were a few big changes.

To start, the bottle of booze he was carrying around all day
is no longer a Game of Thrones brew with the label partially scratched
off. We took a new bottle and cleanly removed the label to replace it
with Laura’s custom made Black Label… labels. drink up!

Next we have Mordecai’s sword. It wasn’t functional last time
a round, and by that I mean you couldn’t remove it from the sheath.
That’s no longer a problem.

Finally we’ve got Baby Bloodwings head and egg. Laura made an
entirely new head for her and then an eggshell for her to sit in. Awww.
Awesome job, Laura! See more of her stuff HERE. More to come…"

Sure, you could just buy a Gravity Gun online, but wheres the fun in that? Michelle Sleeper walks through how to create one from scratch on her blog.It looks like more work than I would ever put into a costume, but I'm sure there are many of you out there for whom the challenge would be the point for the project.

"When Nicole said she wanted to do fairy tales for Miss
Maddie’s 9 month session, I never imagined just how incredibly adorable
and amazing the images would turn out! She spent weeks and weeks
searching for the perfect pieces for the shoot, and we spent two hours
the day before setting up sets and discussing strategy. At 9 months old,
most babies don’t have an incredibly long attention span, and we knew
we would have to work quickly to ensure that Maddie was happy and that
we got the shots we wanted."
